I do web with Elixir and Phoenix.
Current project is https://couchling.tv which is a TV episode tracker with the singular focus of tracking your shows.
In a thousand years when the robots try to figure out human history they will short circuit when they try to solve the naming conventions of LLMs. Is it a natural law that the naming should be completely useless? Is the Fibonacci sequence hiding in here somewhere and we just can’t see it yet…
Too bad they didn't go for the fifth generation panels with RGB layout. I have one of those monitors and it's so good, text is extremely crisp and of course zero fringing.
On retina it won't be as annoying as on a normal monitor obviously.
For me even just the config format is such an upgrade that it was worth switching. Just a simple text file I can backup anywhere and actually read without clicking in a tabbed GUI where I never seem to remember what goes where. iTerm2 still has that weird thing you have to export right?
This... It's weird how companies and people think adding something is the same as adding value.
Feature creep was an issue even before AI, now we see one worse feature being added after the next (does anyone even know all the touch controls of iOS or even macOS, as an example), with some expectation of that there will be money coming in because of it.
I benefit greatly from AI myself, but I use it to augment my capabilities, not as a slot machine for building things nobody will ever use, which seems to be the norm based on the products I use.
I much preferred the fake photos—as in not photos of food served at that restaurant—than the AI generated images of food that doesn't exist at all on menus, as an example.
I also hate that Etsy is now mostly an AI-image gallery.
A one-shotted POC can also put you straight into the very wrong direction, with a very high degree of certainty.
I also prefer doing a POC, but it's not without risk, especially if your stakeholders are just a bit too eager. Another problem I've seen is that a POC can hide complexity, so a lot of weight is on you as the author to do the due diligence before and bring that along.
Apple has a lot of actual money, Anthropic does not. Apple sells a lot of products, Anthropic doesn't. Apple have a platform multiple players want a piece of, Anthropic fight to stand alone.
There's very little comparison to be had here. Also, Anthropic likely have investors with way too much leverage for them to stop.
> A truly skilled developer who makes a genuine attempt should be expected to solve 99% of their tasks within the same business day as of October 2026.
What? You know there's only 24h in a day right? I work 8 of those and most tasks takes my agent far longer. And thats not including me correcting it, adjusting the spec so it does the right thing, etc etc. And I don't have anyone doing a PR waiting, I go straight into production.
I hope he validates the output, the number of times colleagues have done exactly that and gotten the wrong output is.. well, not an insignificant amount.
Not saying it can't be done, but my recommendation is still "ask your LLM to make a tool that process the data, do not process it via the LLM itself".
It’s the same bureaucratic hoops that allow for clean drinking water and fresh air.
This wasn’t even something that was up in the air, it was well known the datacenter wouldn’t be built around the trees, the permits and everything else were formalities. To just blatantly ignore that is causing upset.
And Google were well aware of all such requirements before they even started the process of acquiring the area.
This building will stick out as a sore thumb, a blind drone operator would hit it in their sleep. It literally does nothing for EU national security, as we’ve seen with how easily Ukraine destroyed Russian datacenters.
Oh and it turns off in a second given orders from the US government.
Weird how many people on HN think this is about the count. Also it caused animal displacement from what I could gather, Google of course did this willingly and knowingly, because they know nothing will happen.
Especially for tools built to tell us we’re right and happily pretend to solve problems they didn’t.
I think the OpenAI “revert” of their math problems speaks volumes of how volatile this can be.
Much like Claude Design, expect it to converge eventually. For all the bragging about tens of thousands of commits per day, they seem to lack a lot of the basics when it come to software design.
light-dark() is even better for that :) I also enjoy CSS, using @scope and @layer a lot with the :has() selector, it’s just so different now and I think most people are unaware.
You can't have falling salaries and rising prices for a very long time before society collapses. It would have domino effects to the point of anarchy, people lose their jobs and banks become landlords, but the houses are worth nothing so banks collapse, with it goes the stock exchanges. Now there's no financial system in place at all, and all you're left with is strawberry picking robots and some tech billionaires living on their islands with their robot pets and flying cars.
Now if all these resources were instead put into actually improving things, then we'd be far better of, unfortunately, for all the intelligence the people behind these things possess, they seem to be stuck in the "lets do the same but faster" mindset.
TAA is a nightmare, and Unreal Engine depends way too much on it. TSR also suffer from ghosting and artifacts unfortunately.
But I have come to the realisation that gaming will be about massive compromises for the next decade.
As others have already mentioned, they don’t. Even something as important as payments they seem to care little about, couldn’t give them money for a while due to known issues with their web.
But also, anything coming from Anthropic (and the rest) is 100% marketing.
It's also weird that most seems to think that if inference is good, it's all good. You still have massive costs in data centers, replacing hardware, upgrading hardware, paying salaries, etc.
You can have 99% margins on what you sell and still go bankrupt.
1. You don’t have those speed requirements, and if you do, you already know the answer to your question.
2. Data tends to be somewhat important to a lot of companies. A vibe-coded database increases your risk of losing that data.
3. Your database might have clients using different languages. Now, your vibe-coded drivers become another layer of potential problems.
4. People has been doing this since way before 2023 btw, most probably agree Postgres would be the sane choice.
I mean Claude Code is one of the most buggy piece of software in existence, so I wouldn't use that as a measurement.
There's also massive marketing forces in play here that can't be ignored.
I think there’s a venue where they start focusing on introducing hypotheses where the model currently can’t solve it, or maybe this is already happening?
Being able to present useful novel ideas would likely generate a lot of press, for a while. I don’t know how this would look since I’m useless at math, but Im sure there are plenty of unknown problems with massive implications, that once formulated can be solved.
The interesting parts are what is lacking though, not just any feature. A life without smart objects is terrible in photo editing as an example, at least once you’ve seen the upsides.
That and Camera Raw actually being an incredibly capable raw conversion engine.
But I’m not trying to convince anyone here, just saying it makes sense people are paying for Adobe software.
It’s actually quite simple, give me any open source alternative and I can give you ten major features it lacks that Photoshop has.
If you just use Photoshop as a pixel editing tool, sure, but it does a lot more than that.
I’ve tried getting rid of creative suite for years, but when it comes down to it no competitor has actually come close.
”Etc” is doing a lot of heavy lifting here. I’m sure it works great for you, but something simple as “layers” is for me smart objects with plugin support and Camera Raw integration.
Photoshop has a lot of bad things going for it, but it’s still the only software that does what it does, and I’ve tried all the competitors that have popped up over the years.
You are correct, I should’ve used financial not fiduciary. They make more money selling AI hardware than gaming and it’s a zero-risk transfer because if AI collapses gamers will not “vote with their wallets” and not buy a new card from NVIDIA, and they know it.
And I don’t even disagree with them here, if you can make 10-100x more money doing less work, why wouldn’t you?
